Have you ever pirated anything? *Blind poll*

[Tech_Dreamer]

Post your comments down beeeeeeeeeelow,  And make your confession if you want to.. *please dont*

[flibberdipper]

I've honestly pirated about two dozen things... At least.

[Tech_Dreamer]

i feel like the only option this poll needs is a "YES!" :lol:

[mvitkun]

Of course not......I just temporarily and unofficially discount the item to $0.

[Stefan Becker]

Music. But not anymore. I'm 100% clean.

[Sharif]

yea.......

[techswede]

I like to think of myself as more of a privateer. At least nowadays

I only pirate things i've previously paid for.

[Nineshadow]

Is this a rhetorical question?

[Levent]

30th thread about the same topic ,yes i did and i still do

[Askew]

A better question would be 'Have you pirated anything TODAY?'

 

Because then I could answer no for the next 30 minutes or so.

[WestcoastPCBuilder]

I've shared files. Never commandeered a boat for loot though. 

[WinNut]

I pirated a copy of Windows 8 once (a friend helped me) and I pirated Aida64, along with some other software that I forgot.

[juretrn]

Oh, OP...

[ANUPLUCIFERGAMER]

Yes.I pirate Music, outdated games, and some small softwares.

[renz62]

During my early days, I did. But now that I know what happens if we don't (Developers not getting payed well and publishers cutting franchise), I do now.

[Hikaru12]

All the time, music, shows, software.

[TopWargamer]

I torrent all of my anime and every once in a while a game I really want to play. I do follow these 2 rules though:

1) Never pirate an indie game

2) Always buy what you pirated

 

With that being said, there's still a couple more games I need to buy and all of the anime I've seen. With the latter, I do have some bought though, although it will take a while to buy them all.

[LAwLz]

All day every day.

[Fred Castellum]

Pirating things? Nooooo neverrrrr why would I ever do that? 

 

[Osga21]

Yes, I have, and I still do. I just... don't have the money for everything, be it music, movies, games or software. If I were to pay for everything, at the end of the month I'd have a bill of thousands of € and I just don't have that kind of money.

 

 Some people say that I'm hurting the developer, but I don't think so. If I pirate something, it just usually means that I would never pay for it, so I'm not stealing potential money from the creator. In the end, I win, but the creator does not lose.

[LapX]

I pirated a lot of things, when you are a student you can't buy everything. I give my money to the things I really want or I think deserve support.

[Mitico]

I did,and i still do...Even if in last months i slowed down...Just music now...And seriously,who the heck is paying 1 $ for 1 song? Let's be honest,everyone is doing it... I used to download like 10 gb per day every day in past years...

[Wauthar]

Yes, our entire family movie collection is pirated and burned on DVD.

it used to be a big thing here, but I have stopped it all completely. I don't pirate movies because of Netflix and my games are all on Steam. I don't see the need anymore.

What does happen occasionally, is that I download some software, but meh...
